Jericho Jackson Finds a Path Out of Slum Village by Jhantu Randall
When it comes to Detroit hip -hop its assumed that the first names that come to mind would be Eminem, Royce Da 5’9, and maybe Big Sean, but while all 3 are e xceptional in their own ways an ar tist who is consistently overlooked would have to be Elzhi.

Hot Lead in the Summertime
By Jhantu Randall
It has been said, thanks due to the Internet, that
The Lost Tapes 2
Nas’ B reels could always compete with most rappers best efforts and without further ado, the Lost Tapes 2 is really goes to test that statement. Recorded throughout the last 12 years it really gives you a deeper perspective into the mind of one of the top tiered poets to currently exist, a statement that is partially backed up by Nas’ interview with a professor of literary studies from Harvard 2 years ago.
